QuickTime Media Files for the Web

You can play your output media files over the web with QuickTime, once they are
compressed to a data rate appropriate for the bandwidth you expect the users to have.
You can do this by making your output media files either QuickTime Fast Start movies
(pre-buffered download) or QuickTime Streaming movies.

Compressor allows you to choose different streaming options via the Streaming pop-up
menu in the QuickTime Encoder pane. See the Streaming pop-up menu item for more
information about streaming QuickTime media files over the web.
